Rory McIlroy positioned himself for a run at a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship title Thursday, opening with a 4-under 67 that left him three shots behind leader Xander Schauffele.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rory McIlroy hoped that his victory with Shane Lowry two weeks ago in the Zurich Classic team event would serve as a springboard for the remainder of the season.McIlroy positioned himself for a run at a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship title Thursday, opening with a 4-under 67 that left him three shots behind leader Xander Schauffele.Quail Hollow is one of McIlroy’s favorite courses, and with good reason.
The star from Northern Ireland followed that with a seven-shot victory in 2015, shattering the tournament record at 21-under 267 after a course-record 61 in the third round. He added his third title in 2021. But instead of taking what seemed like an unplayable lie, Schauffele was able to get relief from the rules official and dropped outside of the woods because of a temporary immovable object. According to PGA Tour chief referee Gary Young, Schauffele would have had a 1-foot window under the bushes to punch out, but a ShotLink tower was in his way.
And a huge break for Schauffele, who has seven top-10 finishes this season but is still searching for his first victory.
